Terraform Backend¶

This repository have the configuration for "Terraform Backend", this mean that have the configuration for where terraform should read/write the file with the last infrastructure version. In our case, we are storing it in Azure Storage Containers.

Dependencies¶

https://gitlab.com/primetag/infrastructure/azure-and-terraform-initial-setup

All repositories that changes infrastructure need to add this project as a git submodule.

Example:

cd other-git-repository-inside-infrastructure-group
git submodule add ../terraform-backend.git

Note: git submodule add with relative path (..) will use the relative path in GitLab. In this case, .. goes to https://gitlab.com/primetag/infrastructure.

Instead of using this files in a repository, you can put it in GitLab CI/CD ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES, but if you change in environment variables, you will change in all projects. And with git submodule, you can update gitsubmodules version one project by one, and test each one individually.
